Mixed Salad

A good salad is a wonderful meal all on its own or is equally great as a side dish to all manner of items. I love to serve salad with bbq’d meats and vegetables, with roasted chicken pieces or along with steak, burgers or even meatball subs.

You can add any vegetables you want – my current favourites are a lovely 3 salad leaf lettuce that lidl sell, tomatoes, olives, cucumber and feta cheese. My go to salad dressing is a simple vinaigrette.

Wash your lettuce carefully and dry in a salad spinner or using a towel. I have a great salad spinner that I got a few years ago, it even has a brake to stop spinning! My kids fight over who gets to spin the leaves!

Combine the ingredients together but make sure not to dress your salad until ready to take it to the table.
